Queso Blanco #CulinaryCam

 

Queso Blanco just means 'white cheese' in Spanish, but it's really synonymous with ooey, gooey, cheesy deliciousness that uses a chip as a vessel to my mouth, right?! Okay. Maybe not. But, chips + cheese = happy Cam. And this is so easy to make. We filmed this process for the CulinaryCam YouTube channel. Watch it here...or there.


Ingredients

Basic Queso

  • 12 ounce evaporated milk
  • 1/4 C all-purpose flour
  • 1 to 2 cloves garlic, peeled and pressed
  • 3 to 4 cups shredded cheese (I used pepper jack and mozzarella)
  • Also needed: your favorite chips for dipping

Add-Ins
  • diced tomatoes
  • pickled jalapeños
  • green onions
  • cilantro
Procedure

In a medium saucepan, whisk together evaporated milk, garlic, and flour until well combined. Heat until the milk begins to steam. Slowly add in shredded cheese. Stir or until completely melted and nicely thickened.

Remove from heat and stir in whatever add-ins you want. Spoon the queso into a serving bowl and top with remaining herbs. Serve with chips.


If there are ingredients that not everyone loves, serve it on the side. I did that with the pickled jalapeños.

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.  Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found." Read her invitation here. And there won't be a Twitter chat for this event, so you will have to dive into the articles themselves to read about our pairings and findings. Here's the line-up...

You're Invited: Take a (Virtual) Hawaiian Holiday with #FoodNFlix

Fall Break, Oahu, October 2017 For June, I am hosting  Food'N'Flix , the movie-watching, food-making group rallied by Heather of  All Roads Lead to the Kitchen . This week, my older son was supposed to graduate from high school and we were supposed to leave on a family vacation to the Big Island. But, as enter our eleventh week of being sheltered in place to flatten the curve of the coronavirus, all of our summer plans were canceled, including this long-planned graduation trip to Hawaii. Boo. I understand the need to self-isolate. And we are abiding by the social distancing guidelines put in place by our state. But, boo, nonetheless. Oahu, October 2017 So for this month's Food'N'Flix, I chose to open up the field and let all of the food bloggers take a (virtual) Hawaiian holiday.  My boys have been to Oahu several times with my parents in recent years as my dad grew up there and wanted to spend some time on the island with his grandsons.
